Man, Am I depressed!
I lost my CG Ultimate Sunday. Went straight in, total loss. I'm so depressed right now I'm ready to chuck the whole thing (flying).
I have about 20-30 flights on mine. No problems at all. I've been getting into IMAC and some 3D stuff. No problems. Never saw any bad tendencies in any flight mode. Well last week one day I was out a ways and turning to come back and almost lost her. she was going straight at the ground and not responding. I saved it about 30 feet from the ground. Well not so lucky this time. I was flying straight away from me, doing some trim checking and I think I may have let her get to far out. Don't know. Was turning around at about 1/2 trottle she just quit flying and went straight in, would not respond to an elevator command at all. Only thing I know is that I was on low rates and pretty far out. I guess one of a few things happened. I got to slow in the turn without enough power and she stalled. Then I didn't have enough elevator on low rates to pull her out. Or I just got to far away and had an interupted signal. I just loved this plane. Right now I'm about ready to just quit! I hadn't flown anything else I owned since getting the Ultimate. I've crashed a lot planes, but this one hurt.
